A Friend Is Someone

“A friend is someone 

whose face you can see in the dark.”

~ Frances O'Roark Dowell, The Secret Language of Girls

So I Learned Two Things That Night

“So I learned two things that night, 

and the next day, from him: 

the perfection of a moment,

 and the fleeting nature of it.”

~ Margaret George, The Memoirs of Cleopatra

We've Lost A Lot Of Years

“We've lost a lot of years, 

but you can't lose love.

 Not real love. 

It stays locked inside you, 

ready for whenever you are strong enough 

to find it again.”

~ Martina Boone, Compulsion

I Can See

“I can see that the sadness has returned. 

And it's not a beautiful sadness - beautiful sadness is a myth.

 Sadness turns our features to clay, not porcelain.”

~ David Levithan, Every Day
